The Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals is the largest component of the Defense Legal Services Agency. DOHA is comprised primarily of attorneys (Department Counsel), Administrative Judges, and administrative support personnel. It provides hearings and issues decisions in personnel security clearance cases for contractor personnel doing classified work for all DoD components and 28 other Federal Agencies and Departments and it conducts personal appearance hearings and issues decisions in security clearance cases for DoD civilian employees and military personnel. It also settles claims for uniformed service pay and allowances, and claims of transportation carriers for amounts deducted from them for loss or damage, as well as conducts hearings on a myriad of other issues. DOHA Administrative Judges also preside over “Personal Appearances” (similar to hearings) of clearance applicants appealing clearance denials or revocations by other divisions of DOD CAF.
